Chapter 22: Even if you pretend, you have to pretend to be more realistic

Yu Xiangwan had a look on his face that said “this kid is incorrigible” and shook his head and sighed.

After saying that, he stuffed the things he bought today to Lu Yingzheng, turned around and slammed the door of his house shut.

Lu Yingzheng really started to think deeply about it.

He stood at the door without moving.

Yu Cuilan heard some noise outside and deliberately did not come out.

I heard the door closing next door and thought my son was coming in.

But after waiting for a long time, no one showed up.

She was impatient and opened the door.

"Why are you standing there instead of going home?"

Yu Cuilan didn't understand why her son was standing at the door like a door god.

Lu Yingzheng pretended nothing happened and calmly turned around and walked in.

Seeing Yu Cuilan looking at the things in her arms with interest, in order to prevent Yu Cuilan from asking about him and Yu Xiangwan again, he took the initiative to put the things on the table so that Yu Cuilan could take a closer look.

Yu Cuilan went over and started commenting.

"This fabric is good... Candy isn't selling very well, isn't it enough..."

"Why didn't you buy a water bottle?"

Lu Yingzheng: "Yu...Wanwan bought it, I didn't ask."

Yu Cuilan: …

She thought of something and asked, "Have you bought the watch?"

Lu Yingzheng immediately shook his head.

He remembered clearly that Yu Xiangwan didn't even go to the watch counter.

Yu Cuilan put her hands on her hips and glared at him: "Wanwan definitely doesn't dare to buy it, can't you take the initiative to add it yourself?"

Lu Yingzheng frowned: "She didn't say yes."

Thinking about the situation at that time, he took the initiative to say: "I think she is very opinionated. She is very organized in what to buy and what not to buy."

Yu Cuilan was speechless again.

She pounded her chest hard, turned around twice, and gritted her teeth and said, "Ah, why did I give birth to such a stupid son?"

Yu Cuilan stretched out her hand and pointed to the tablet in the main hall: "Your father and I have been romantic all our lives. Even when he went for a walk in the village, he would braid a dog's tail ring for me when he came back."

"You haven't inherited your father's thoughts at all!"

"Preparing the betrothal gift is what our family should do. If you want the girl to go with you to buy it, that's fine."

"Wanwan is a girl and she spent our family money on such a big item. She must be embarrassed to mention it."

"But this is a betrothal gift. You're betrothing a girl to be with you for the rest of her life. A watch is nothing compared to the years she'll have. You can't even think of that?"

Yu Cuilan really wanted to hit her son with the fire poker.

It's just that his muscles are too tight, and she has trouble hitting him.

Lu Yingzheng listened to his mother's scolding and reflected in his heart.

He and Yu Xiangwan seemed to take this marriage too lightly and did not care about the feelings of their parents at all.

They really hope that he and Yu Xiangwan can live happily together for the rest of their lives.

Lu Yingzheng felt guilty.

But he couldn't help it.

Yu Xiangwan is too special. When he is unable to seek help from the country, the stars on his shoulders force him to stand up.

He must ensure that Yu Xiangwan, this destabilizing element, will not do anything to harm the country and the people.

This is the best way.

He needs to discuss it with Yu Xiangwan again. At least, before they get divorced, they should fulfill their responsibilities to both sets of parents so that when they separate in the future, the hurt will be less.

"Then I'll go ask her what to do, whether to buy it tomorrow or later."

Lu Yingzheng found an excuse and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Yu Cuilan grabbed him.

"You are such a blockhead," Yu Cuilan said, annoyed. "You didn't listen to anything I just said?"

Lu Yingzheng: “I listened.”

He expressed his own understanding: "I want to buy a watch."

Yu Cuilan supported the forehead.

This is so stubborn!

"Come in with me!"

Lu Yingzheng didn't understand what was going on, so he followed Yu Cuilan to the door of his mother's room.

Yu Cuilan opened the drawer and said, "It's late today. If you go to the town, the supply and marketing cooperative will be closed."

"Besides, the styles in town are limited. You can take the train to a big city to buy them later."

Yu Cuilan chattered on and on, walked over with a box and opened it.

"This is my watch. Give it to Wanwan tomorrow. Don't tell anyone about it today."

"This is called a surprise, do you understand?"

Lu Yingzheng successfully received the contempt from his old mother.

He picked up his watch, then remembered something and put it down immediately.

"Isn't this a gift from Dad? I can't accept it."

"It's not for you," Yu Cuilan snapped the lid shut and stuffed it into Lu Yingzheng's pocket, "It's for Wanwan."

"Besides," she raised her head proudly, "your father gave me many things, and this watch is just one of them."

Lu Yingzheng: I ate this bowl of dog food.

Yu Cuilan advised earnestly: "You must have the three-wheeler and one-radio. You can buy the bicycle and sewing machine after you settle down in the camp. The same goes for the radio."

"The captain and his men trust our family and didn't ask for a betrothal gift. They just want you to treat Wanwan well. You, please be nice."

"Think about how your father treated me, and treat Wanwan the same way in the future."

"You have to take on your responsibilities as a husband."

"This isn't a fake marriage!"

Lu Yingzheng's heart skipped a beat, but he managed to keep his expression.

"I know, mother."

"I know it's not just talk!"

Lu Yingzheng was ordered to go back to his room and reflect on his behavior.

He sat at the table and did reflect on himself, but not on the content that Yu Cuilan wanted to reflect on.

Instead, reflect on yourself and realize that you are not pretending to be someone you are not.

Yu Cuilan's last question reminded him.

He has parents and acquaintances in the village. When Yu Xiangwan joins the army, he will also have a sister-in-law and acquaintances in the family compound.

They have to pretend to be more realistic.

Lu Yingzheng has very high requirements for himself in all aspects, even fake marriage is no exception.

He tried hard to recall the way his father treated his mother.

Well, that's what he was modeled after.

Yu Xiangwan didn't know that Lu Yingzheng was not only being pua by her, but also by his own mother.

Tomorrow is her wedding day.

She was not nervous, not excited, and even slept very well.

The next day, she put on the clothes she wore when she and Zou Jianwen got married, looking like she was familiar with the job.

"The groom has arrived!"

Yu Xiangwan stood up and was pushed down by Xiang Hong.

Yu Xiangchen, the older brother, was jealous: "Are you so anxious?"

Yu Xiangwan smiled and said, "I forgot. I still need my brother to carry me out."

Yu Xiangchen snorted coldly.

But when he was really carried out the door, Yu Xiangchen started crying instead.

"I only have one sister, Zhengzi, if you treat my sister badly, I will fight you to the death!"

Although Yu Xiangwan still had memories of that marriage, memories are just memories after all. This time, she experienced it in person, saw her parents with tears in their eyes, and saw her brother supporting her. Even though she knew that the marriage was fake, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

This is her family.

Lu Yingzheng nodded heavily: "I will treat her well."

He took out his watch, gently held Yu Xiangwan's hand, and put it on Yu Xiangwan's wrist solemnly, just like wearing a ring.

Yu Xiangwan almost shed a tear but immediately held it back.

Yu Xiangwan: Are you moved? I dare not move.

[How fucking affectionate...]

[Brother, please don't be like this. I'm scared.]

[I know I'm attractive, but our marriage is just a fake one! ]

Lu Yingzheng: ...

I'm just acting.
